Smiling all the Way From A to Z -- J

Hello again! It's letter J day in the Blogging From A to Z April Challenge. Gees, this has been fun so far. I've enjoyed coming up with so many posts since I typically only post once a week. Anyway, on to J....

JOKES

make me smile. That's a given, obviously. You have to be a moldy, dead plant on the side of the road on a murky Tuesday afternoon if jokes don't make you laugh. No, seriously.

I enjoy a good joke. But I mostly enjoy the random, dry jokes my brother offers sporadically during conversations. They are so sudden and not expected that I can't help but grin and LOL. Do you have a friend or family member who can pull a joke out of their head within seconds, and it follows the conversation so well it feels like it was scripted? Well, that's my brother for ya!

The funny thing about jokes is sometimes I won't get the joke until seconds or minutes after the punch-line has come and gone. Of course, I offer the customary laugh of which I figure everyone and their dog notices is truly not sincere. Often times, though, I'll just be honest and say, "Uh, I don't get it," which more often than not will cause the joke teller and other members of the group to laugh or stare at me with blank expressions as though I am a moldy, dead plant on the side of the road on a murky Tuesday afternoon.

Hey folks, at least I'm honest. I really just want to get the joke. I do get most jokes, and they sure make me smile.

I love British humour, especially that of "Mr. Bean" and "Keeping Up Appearances." Brilliant shows. :)

So tell me your favorite joke? Starting with the letter J, what makes you smile?

Writing JewelsPS: Refer to the blurb on the very top of my blogs sidebar to know why I am posting about what makes me smile. Go forward and smile!

I'm the worst at telling jokes. Like you, I sometimes just don't get them until later.....and I too receive that quizzical look from everyone. Thanks for popping by- you've got an awesome name!!!! Lol!

A brain and two jump leads (see the J there?) walk into a pub. The brain asks for three pints of lager but the barman says "Sorry, I'm not serving you". The brain says "why not?" The barman says "Because you're out of your head and your mates look like they're about to start something."

My posts are going to be about what makes me smile. I'd like you to comment about what makes you smile that coincides with the letter of the day, too. I figure writing is tough and if we can focus on the smiles, then this journey will be filled with letters full of happiness.
